As a specialist distributor of telecoms infrastructure solutions for internet service providers (ISPs), offering consultancy, design, specification, product procurement, supply chain management, planning, forecasting and scheduling, Altnets is well placed to introduce the Italian manufacturer’s products to its ISP customer base in the UK. These include the V4000 PLUS LE Series of low-emission, metal-free microduct connectors manufactured by Camozzi Technopolymers, part of the Camozzi Group, and brought to the UK by Camozzi Automation UK. Made from sustainable, bio-renewable raw materials using machinery powered by renewable energy, the V4000 PLUS LE Series sets a new benchmark for environmentally responsible engineering in FTTx network deployments. Comprising three components (a Low Emissions connector, an End Cap and a Reducer), it has 85% lower carbon emissions than the standard Series V4000 PLUS series, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious ISPs across the UK. Compared to typical products in the market, which generate 3.9 to 4.2 grams of CO2 equivalent per gram of product, the Low Emissions series produces just 0.7 grams. www.altnets.co.uk
